Something else I should have added to my post about my great
grandfather coming by train from Massachusetts to California is that
we are fairly certain that he already had at least one brother and
maybe cousins here in California. He only stayed in Massachusetts to
pay off his passage to the US. I really would like to know who the
first one was who came and maybe I will find out someday.

thank-you mary this is exactly the kind of information I was looking
for. Most of my azorean ancestors settled in Fall River, Swansea,
and New Bedford. In my attempts to locate any that may have headed
West. I am fascinated with how our azorean peoples migrated with
little to nothing after leaving the islands and got to California
and elsewhere. best, grace

I am not sure this is what you are looking for but...
My great grandfather (from Sao Jorge) came to Massachusetts around
1871 and worked several years there before coming to California.
When he did, he came by train and he told my mother that the Indians
"played tricks" on the train as they were passing by.
